While the cities of Tucson and Phoenix are facing a more than a $30 million budget gap, the Town of Oro Valley has proposed not only a balanced budget, but one that includes development and growth for fiscal year 2014/2015.
During the April 2 Oro Valley Town Council meeting, Town Manager Greg Caton presented the $107.1 million recommended budget for the new fiscal year. The proposed budget is a $13.2 million increase from the current fiscal year.
When asked about the increase, Caton said the town started making cuts over several years, and now the town is able to budget for community-improvement projects.
